We are very excited to announce that we’ve had 50,000 hails through the Cabulous mobile and web apps as of today!
On top of that, we just passed 15,000 active users in San Francisco alone.
Also, come to think of it, the one-year launch anniversary of our launch should be coming up soon. All the more reason to celebrate. Who wants to throw us a party? I do!
Now you can hail a cab right from Facebook with the new Cabulous Facebook app:

Cabulous on Facebook - Hail a Taxi Cab in San Francisco
As many Cabulous drivers and passengers know, we keep phone numbers private and mask them, so drivers and passengers can call each other without worrying about giving out personal information. But tonight, an honest driver for San Francisco’s Metro Cab rang us to report that a Cabulous user had left a gift bag that looked expensive. He could no longer call her, because the private session between them had ended.
We contacted the passenger for the driver, and after getting permission from the driver, passed on contact information so she could arrange to get her belongings back.
And yeah, turned out to be an expensive gift.
Cabulous to the rescue!
You can now see Cabulous on DataSF‘s App Showcase. DataSF is a resource provided by the city that helps residents access quality public data, and they’ve created the App Showcase to highlight mobile applications taking advantage of this data.
Some other neat apps being featured on DataSF are Crimespotting, an interactive map of crimes across the Bay Area, and Routesy, a Muni/BART trip planner that uses algorithms to make predictions about real-time arrivals.
